• OH MY GIRL Achieves The Longest Chart-in Record Among Girl Group Songs With 'Nonstop'

    The group OH MY GIRL set a tie record for the longest period of time on the charts among girl group songs with 'Nonstop' released last year.

    On August 19, Oh My Girl's 7th mini album 'NONSTOP', the title song ' Nonstop ', achieved the longest chart-in record among girl group songs released since 2014. ' Nonstop ' stayed on the 'Melon Top 100 Chart' for 479 days since it was released on April 27 last year. The previous best record was TWICE's 'Cheer up' and a tie record. The record of ' NONSTOP ' is currently in progress, so if there are no surprises, it is expected to rise to the top spot on the 20th.

    Oh My Girl's 'Dolphin' also took 3rd place following the tie for 1st place. 'Dolphin' has been on the Top 100 chart for 473 days. If this status is maintained for a week, OH MY GIRL will have their names on both 1st and 2nd places. After that, Black Pink's 'As If It's Your Last' ranked 4th with 453 days, Red Velvet's 'Red Flavor' at 5th with 445 days, and GFRIEND's 'Me Gusta Tu' with 437 days at 6th, respectively. In 7th place, Blackpink's 'How you like that' was 418 days, Mamamoo's 'HIP' was in 8th place for 373 days, and in 9th place was Blackpink's 'Playing with Fire' with 357 days. In 10th place, TWICE's "Like Ooh Ah" was named 350 days, respectively.

    In the top 10 of the record, Black Pink has the most with three songs. Oh My Girl and Twice have two songs each, and Red Velvet, GFRIEND, and Mamamoo have one song each. The record of consecutive entry days for 'Melon Top 100' was counted from January 1, 2014. Just by hearing their name, Oh My Girl took the lead in the rankings with many prominent singers, proving once again their status as a top-notch music powerhouse.

    'Nonstop' is a song that gave Oh My Girl numerous awards, including 8 trophies on music shows, the Golden Disc Awards 'Digital Source Bonsang', the Melon Music Awards 'Top 10 Artist Award', and the Brand of the Year 'Grand Prize in Female Idol Category'. Since then, Oh My Girl has enjoyed the greatest popularity since their debut, shooting about 10 commercials. 'DUN DUN DANCE', released on May 10, has also recorded good results on various charts, including three music shows, and has been on the charts for 103 days in a row.

  • Hwanhee’s Agency Hits Back Against Shocking Claims of Favoritism on ‘King of Singers Season 2’—Vows to Defend His Reputation

    Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

    On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

    They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

    Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

    BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

    The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

    They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

    This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

    In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
